Unabashed when it comes to talking about money:
- The downfall of Detroit (gm, chrysler) also meant that many staff / people in ministry are taking drastic paycuts or leaving staff. Southeast Michigan is getting wiped out with the economic downturn. This doesn't just affect SE Michigan, but also the surrounding region (including Ohio).
- The yearly budget for a campus staff in Cairo (Egypt) is $2,000. There are many people currently existing in the world that could cover this budget in one fell swoop.
- 85-90% of my donors don't come from local churches in Cleveland. They come from NY, CA, Michigan alum, and home church. I would really love to see people come on board to support and pray for the work at Case.
- Overall, it seems that non-profit orgs in general are still doing ok.
- Some of my colleagues in the region (though rare) have deficits in the order of $10-20k.
- I love sharing fellowship with my donors (who really are my friends). It's one of the most wonderful things to see them and pray with them because I really long to! I will definitely treasure my most recent trip back to Rochester.
